This section explains logical platforms (L-Platforms) and logical servers (L-Servers).
Logical Platforms (L-Platforms)
Logical platforms (L-Platforms) are a logical method for managing an entire system comprised of multiple servers, storage, and networks in Resource Orchestrator.
Multi-tiered (Web/AP/DB) systems including network devices such as firewalls or server load balancers can be managed.
By using a logical platform (L-Platform), configurations including both physical and virtual servers can be managed.
The setting and operation of multiple servers, storage, and networks can be simplified through the use of a logical platform (L-Platform).
Logical Servers (L-Servers)
A logical server (L-Server) is a method for logically managing physical and virtual servers in Resource Orchestrator.
Either physical or virtual servers can be used according to the system involved.
An L-Server used for physical servers is called a physical L-Server.
An L-Server used for virtual servers is called a virtual L-Server.
